San Francisco is the home to the largest pack hypocritical fake bunch of people gathered into one place. California natives tend to be cool, but the transplants love going on about how they are so liberal, live and let live, and really are just entitled whiney biatches.

If they offer to move it to Cleveland, Ohio they could do anything they wanted. The city would very likely redirect the sin tax (currently used to bribe the local sports franchises not to move their teams away) to help pay for it.

I look at google this way. I don't know what they want to be. So when they say things like 'don't be evil' and do things like trying to create contacts to measure your insulin levels or silly glasses to record others standing in line for their expresso I have to recheck google's 10-k to see if they are still an advertising company. And then I just roll my eyes and go back to ignoring them.

Reading comprehension fail. The City of San Francisco doesn't have anything to do with this call. A State board talked to a regional conservancy who owned the space in use and told them that the barge couldn't stay there unless they (Google) applied for different permits. The conservancy had in their contract that Google was responsible for making sure it had all the permits it needed. If anything, Google is more likely to go to San Francisco proper now where they can easily get the right permits instead of halfway out in the Bay.

guy i work with is dead convinced that google's got an actual fully aware AI on that barge.

according to him, the reason they have it on the barge is better isolation, either because it's hostile or because it wants to spread to the rest of the world.(take your pick which theory it is on any given day, it changes regularly)

Myk Ox:FTFA: The space to build the barge is being leased by the Treasure Island Development Authority for $79,000 per month under a contract

You would think that if someone with Development Authority in thier name is leasing a place for $79,000 per month they would have the Authority to Develope something.

/Google should move it about 300 miles north. Oregon may appreciate all those jobs, taxes, attractions ect.

That seems like a lot of money. My marina is near there, and they only charge $10/foot per month. My boat would have to be 7900 feet long for me to pay that much. You can buy a pretty nice boat for $79k.
